Suspected Human Remains Found Underneath Baker Street

Guelph Police say there does not appear to be anything criminally suspicious about suspected human remains located beneath baker street today by staff of the City of Guelph Waterworks department.
Workers found skull fragments while excavating a water line and turning off water to the Baker Street Parking lot booths.
Between 1827 to 1853, that area served as an all-faith, public burying ground and remains have been found around there on a couple of occasions in the last ten years. Those bones were later re-interred at Woodlawn Cemetery.
The coroner and an archaeologist were called in by the city. They’re working alongside members of the Guelph Police Forensic unit to investigate the fragments and attempt to locate any additional remains in the immediate area.
